A bakery in Tapanila, Helsinki called 🍰Rönttösrouva🎂 lost a huge chunk of their business in a blink of an eye due to the cancellation of all parties and gatherings because of the #coronavirus situation here in Finland.
However, these smart and obviously humorous people quickly came up with a product that could save the day - or the whole business, actually:
Their "toilet paper cake" is oat based with a passionfruit filling and, according to several news outlets, is selling like hell.
The bakery has also enhanced their home delivery capacity and according to the owners is working long hours to keep up with the online orders !
Good thinking, Rönttösrouva - best of luck and thanks for the "feelgood news" for the day ! 👍
The Rönttösrouva website is in Finnish only

Food from Scraps
Last Fall and Winter we did an experiment for fun to re-grow different food plants from the cut off pieces that we would normally just compost. Here are some of the results.
Plants we used: #Celery, #Romaine Lettuce, #Bok-Choy, #Beet Tops, #Parsley, #Leek

Food Science! The science (and art) of making the perfect crêpe.A dollop of Nutella and slices of banana make for the perfect crêpe filling, at least according to Mathieu Sellier of the University of Canterbury in New Zealand. Edouard Boujo, who works at the École Polytechnique in France, smothers his in chocolate, nothing else. While the two disagree on what should coat these batter-based desserts, they concur that the crêpe itself should have a uniform thickness. Challenged by Sellier’s wife to use their physics expertise to suggest the optimal way to cook a crêpe, the duo finds that it requires inclining the frying pan and rotating it in circles.#Science #Research #FoodSynopsis: Making the Perfect Crêpe

Lactose Against Intolerance
The Revolution Will Be Pasteurized!
“Who drinks milkshake? Kids and teenagers,” says Dr Gololobov. “Milkshake on a fancy suit of an upper middle-class bigot symbolises how fake their bravado is and how irrational their arguments are – not far from school bullying. And what is the best way to stop the bully? It is to show them their place.”

https://twitter.com/scott_eff/status/1129486192595079168“Lactose Against Intolerance!” How milkshake became a tool of protest
On a bright sunny day in the English market town of Totnes, an angry man with a beard is dripping with milkshake. Like a victim of a seagull-based atrocity, his hair is slick with the pinky-white drink, which drips into his beard and covers his black T-shirt. As protesters yell around him, he tries to put his sunglasses on against the glare, but thinks better of it. Presumably they’re covered in milkshake too. This is the third “milkshaking” of Carl Benjamin, Ukip’s controversial MEP candidate for the southwest – an anti-feminist YouTuber known as Sargon of Akkad – in three days. He has made headlines by refusing to apologise for tweeting “I wouldn’t even rape you” at the Labour MP Jess Phillips (even adding to his comment last month on YouTube: “I suppose with enough pressure I might cave, but let’s be honest nobody’s got that much beer”). He has also defended using the n-word, saying he finds “racist jokes funny”, and his videos contain other slurs (including “retard” and “faggot”). On the campaign trail in Cornwall, two protesters threw milkshake at Benjamin in Truro (they missed), and his Ukip campaign bus received a drenching in Plymouth. By the time he reached Totnes in Devon, a local ice cream parlour called Delphini’s was urged by police to withdraw its “tongue in cheek” 99p milkshake offer. Benjamin got drenched anyway, and the culprit was arrested. Exchanging more classic tools of political protest – ie. the humble egg – for milkshake stems from the viral video of a man in Warrington chucking a McDonald’s milkshake over the head of far-right thug Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, aka Tommy Robinson. Robinson is running as an independent candidate in the north-west, and the incident was his second milkshaking in two days, after he had one lobbed at him in Bury, Greater Manchester. Both, it has been reported with laudable attention to detail, were strawberry. Why is this now the food of choice for political protest? A variety of foods have been used over the years in protest, including eggs and custard pie, and it’s usually “a matter of convenience”, says Dr Benjamin Franks, a senior lecturer in Social and Political Philosophy at the University of Glasgow who specialises in direct action. “Nowadays, carrying raw eggs to a nationalist meeting would require some backstory to justify it if challenged by the police. Carrying a milkshake – previously – did not,” he says. “I think it [milkshake]latterly caught the imagination of anti-fascist protestors because it can be carried without raising suspicion and is clearly effective in making the victim feel uncomfortable and look ridiculous,” he adds. “The enemy of the far-right can be – and is – everywhere.” Nowhere is this clearer than online, where the well of milkshake mania oozes thick. Slogans are appearing (“The Revolution will be Pasteurised!” and “Lactose Against Intolerance!”), and there’s a social media campaign called “Milkshakes Against Racism”, encouraging the practice, and even aiming to fund it with a JustGiving page (“Depending on how much is raised, we may consider hiring coaches/paying for travel to events!”). “Today’s politics are hugely performative,” says Dr Ivan Gololobov, a politics teaching fellow at the University of Bath who specialises in radical youth subcultures and anti-politics. “Street action itself is worth almost nothing if it does not have an online follow-up. Milkshake on a figure who pretends to be serious and well-established has become an incredibly powerful image destroying the platform of seriousness for the likes of Robinson and Benjamin.” He describes throwing milkshake as a “highly captivating non-violent alternative” to a punch, and calls it a “spontaneous reaction to a bully on the street” that has become a “form of direct action… a synonym for counter-protest against far-right views”. Milkshake is also a universally-loved fast food guilty pleasure; an “everyman” choice. The Observer reporter who tracked down the original viral milkshaker, Danyaal Mahmud, described him as an “everyday hero”. Part of its appeal seems to be the innocence and fun associated with the drink, particularly the pink variety – a pleasing contrast with the darkness its targets represent for many. “Who drinks milkshake? Kids and teenagers,” says Dr Gololobov. “Milkshake on a fancy suit of an upper middle-class bigot symbolises how fake their bravado is and how irrational their arguments are – not far from school bullying. And what is the best way to stop the bully? It is to show them their place.” There could be a deeper significance too. The alt-right has been known to use milk as a symbol of white supremacy, because of its “whiteness”, and in order to mock people with a “genetic predisposition” to lactose intolerance, says Dr Franks. “The milkshake is turning that symbol against them,” he tells me. “It is an example of political ju-jitsu. It also makes them look foolish, undermining their self-image of power and control. The bathos of the great leader brought low by a drink associated with children is highly effective.” Milkshaking hasn’t been embraced by all Robinson and Benjamin’s opponents, however. Organisers of a rival rally that day in Totnes distanced themselves from the milkshaker (who wasn’t part of their group, called Totnes Together Against Hate), and advertised milkshakes at their own event as “shaken, not thrown”. “We were stood there, we had our placards and we were chanting and singing and everything else, then all of a sudden one guy runs up behind him and pours a milkshake over his head,” says Josh Adams, 28, a customer services coordinator and member of the local Totnes Labour party who was present at the most recent milkshaking of Benjamin. “The immediate backlash and everything I’ve heard since is that we are a hate group, that we condone violence… [But]we had no knowledge that was going to happen, and apparently the guy wasn’t local.” His fiancé Lauren and other Labour members organised their alternative event two minutes from where Benjamin was campaigning in the Civic Square. They amassed 150 people and ended up marching to protest against the Ukippers down the road. They told their group beforehand to avoid throwing milkshake. “It isn’t something we condone. We understand people’s reasoning, but our event was designed and advertised and set up to be a peaceful protest,” Adams says. “The biggest factor for us was there was no conflict there, it was to show we aren’t thugs, we aren’t violent, we just wanted to make our views known in a peaceful way – very much us deploring his views and showing that Totnes is a tolerant town.” With police involved, candidates’ supporters have been given the opportunity to claim “violence” and “assault”. But their cries over spilt milk have also been revealing. Robinson’s first reaction was a windmill of punches at Mahmud when he was doused, and an associate at one of his later rallies in Middleton confiscated a McDonald’s drink off someone. Another supporter at the rally harangued a young man about his McDonald’s milkshake, asking to see its contents, commanding him to drink it, and threatening to “knock your teeth out”. Although Benjamin’s response was to sip a milkshake on the next leg of his southwest tour in Exeter, other Ukippers have been less relaxed. “Just to be clear, anyone that comes at me with a milkshake will need the straw to eat their meals for the next few months,” tweeted Ukip activist and darling of the alt-right Mark Meechan (or Count Dankula, infamous for his video teaching a dog Nazi salutes by repeating “Want to gas the Jews?” at it). “I don’t care how many cameras are rolling, you’ll be getting booted up and down the street.” A significantly more aggressive response than that of the People’s Milkshaker, Danyaal Mahmud, who told the Observer he’d be willing to make amends with Tommy Robinson. “I guess we could shake on it,” he said.www.newstatesman.com

For The New G-Plus Refugees Coming To Pluspora Let’s Do The Aspects Again :
Folks who are not on Pluspora, feel free to skip this post, this is really just intended for the refugees on our Pod and not meant to klutter up your reading. Folks who are already being shared with by me are in my Aspects don't need to read this again for the most part (if you haven't seen it but I am sharing with you then please do skim along).
This is probably going to be the last public post of the Aspects. I will do an abbreviated one in the future only for folks in my Aspects already but I will be reducing my public posting due to hate mongers on other pods that I have zero interest in.
Things are fading out over on G-Plus. I've been checking back daily and watching as folks pack up, say farewells and lock up the hold place. I've also been here on Pluspora for months now. If you know me or have heard about this place from me then welcome aboard. There are lots of fellow refugees and good people here.
If you have seen and/or interacted with any of my posts, article links etc here on pluspora then you might want to know that just as on G+ I actually post a LOT more than what you see in my public posts. If we are not sharing with each other and you are not in my aspects, you only see 10% of what I post, discuss and get involved in.
I put a lot of what I write behind Aspects, which for me act as private posts. These let me avoid flooding the stream and let folks see posts on specific subjects that they are interested in.
Warning, I am verbose, opinionated and eclectic in my interests.
It also means that I can keep things mostly troll, spam and neo-nazi free. AND that if you see replies/comments from someone in my aspected posts you know that they are also interested in that subject and might be a neat person for you to share with as well on that subject. And probably a generally decent person to know.
Building up private aspect sharing this way allows an emulation of some of the controls that many of us were used to on g+ and other platforms. There is a problem from specific problem pods (what some folks here call the #RudePods or #NaziPods or #TrollPods) on the Diaspora Network. Mostly these are pods filled with MAGA types who have been tossed out of the civilized pods (though some keep multiple sock puppet accounts like they do on Youtube, Twitter etc). Their numbers are few and small and they hate Pluspora for its founder's insistence of maintaining civilized and polite discussion and not allowing members who use anonymous posting to commit what is considered in some states of the USA as hate crimes or libel. Oh and they hate the fact that we are 11,800+ Strong and outnumber them considerably. Unlike Twitter or Facebook they are a minority here.
So, here’s my List of aspects. If you are sharing with me, and not a troll, Anti-LGBT, or rampant neo-nazi/alt-right/fascist kind of person you might want to considering connecting up this way (reply if you are interested in specific aspects). My aspects lists are also a way to find others on pluspora or the diaspora who are not fundamentally rude, crude, blatantly evil or purposely cruel. I don't get along with those types and won't share with them when they are encountered. I am also actively trying to connect up folks with matching interests to develop their own aspect collections with private sharing to shut out those sort sort folks.
One small thing… if all you post is in a non-english language in your own posts then please don’t share with me. I am monolingual for the most part and find that generally translations don’t work here on diaspora. I wish neither of these things were true, but I'm too old to learn more languages.
So, reply and let me know where your interests are :
#Artists (visual, audio, and sometimes performance; includes photography)
#Biography (that is biographic pieces on other people, not mine)
#Cambridge (That would be Cambridge Massachusetts USA)
#CurrentEvents (includes politics, world events, news)
#FictionBooks (I read things that are not in SF/Fantasy)
#FilmAndTv (may include spoilers, criticism, reviews, theory etc.) #Film #TV
#Food (cooking, eating out experiences, recipes, etc.) #Recipies #Cooking
#Gamers (tabletop, rpgs, role-playing, computer, online, design projects, tools & techniques)
#History (includes archaeology etc)
#Humor (comedians, funny life things, memes)
#Life (My personal life; I’m very careful as to who can read these as I do one daily)
#Pagan (neo-pagan etc. Things not in mainstream religion, including mythology)
#Science (includes space, medicine, environment, physics etc.)
#SFAndFantasy (books and other fantastic literature media)
#Technology (includes computers, the internet, AI, robots, etc.)
#Webcomics (not just the funny ones)
#Writers (Includes How to, format, plotting, characterization, world building, criticism/reviews, spoilers, tools)
#Zibaldone (language, culture, mathematics, strange things, philosophy)
There are days where I will only read/post based on my aspects, to avoid the stream firehose, so being in my aspects is more likely to get my involvement in things that you post…
When posting and using hashtags, always Capitalize the first letter, this is so folks with visual impairment who use screen readers can use search aspects effectively on them
Resharing links of articles from elsewhere on the web that I have posted about is fine, if you want to do so in your circles or even in public. Do not do this with my own commentary or discussions of them or anything I have marked with the hashtag #myownwork please, marked that way consider them to be under copyright protection at this time as works in progress.
Note that Videos on Youtube that I link to in my posts can be accessed long after the posts by going to the appropriate Aspect Play List on my channel:

“Dog beer” 😁Orlando-Based Boozehounds Dog Bar Is Catering To Pup Parents
The owners designed the space out of necessity after bringing home their own German Shepherd puppy, Kaia. “Even when we did find a restaurant, [she]wasn’t happy stuck under a table. She was hot and miserable. When we took her to a dog park, Paul and I were bored, sweaty, and in need of a cocktail.” The pair decided then and there to open the dog park-bar mashup.https://www.delish.com/food-news/a26573486/boozehounds-dog-park-bar/
The menus are still in development, but will likely include a lineup of local and domestic beer, wine, and Bitters & Bombs Bartending cocktails. A chicken broth-based “dog beer” will also be on tap for your pooch and on-site food trucks are expected.
